I'm using a pair of early 70's ROR Speakers out of Flushing, NY.
Around 14" x 6" x 4 1/2"; they each house a 4" paper cone woofer, 4" paper cone passive radiator, and 1" Peerless textile soft dome tweeter.
Wood veneered on ALL sides including the back, they are easily driven by a low powered PCL86 SE tube amplifier.
They were a STEAL on flea-bay for $40!!
Well worth hunting for, IMHO.

  Back in 2007, I took those old ROR speakers to the Mid-Atlantic Region Audiokarma meet-n'-greet in Northern Virginia.
  They were very well received, despite hearing....."What's a ROR??" from one and all!
  Mated with a GOOD sub-woofer, and you are correct....they certainly are little killers!!

These sound interesting. I am a fan of paper cone drivers. Seems on a weight to stiffness ratio the paper cone can be a winner and I notice a good one seems to be faster and have better transient response.

  You see quite a number of ROR speakers, have made their way into recording studios as near-field monitors.
  They must be doing something right?
